Conclusions
Findings
The following findings are further to, or in contrast with, those of the majority:
- Members of the cockpit crew performed their duties without apparent fault.
- Weight and balance considerations were not factors in this accident.
- Ice contamination was not a factor in this accident.
- The right outboard engine (the number four engine) was operating at low power before contacting trees.
- All four thrust reversers may have been deployed prior to impact.
- Fire broke out on board while the aircraft was in light, possibly due to a detonation in a cargo compartment.
- The determination of the causes and factors that led to this occurrence was severely hampered by the lack of information that could have been provided by a thorough effort to analyze and reconstruct the wreckage.
Causes
An in-flight fire that may have resulted detonations of undetermined origin brought about catastrophic system failures.
